does santa wrap your LOs presents?

just curious! santa always wrapped mine in PLAIN paper. want to start a tradition this year and was looking to get others' feedback.

 

Yes he does, along w stocking stuffers. Each dc has their own special wrapping paper so they know whose is whose!

 

My parents never wrapped Santa's gifts, but DH's parents always did. So we wrap them all for the girls. I never really gave it much thought, but I think it's cool to have it all wrapped (in special paper). It slows down the process a little bit, and makes it extra exciting!

 

my brother's family used to say that "Santa wrapping paper" or bags etc. were from santa... one year I - the Aunt - made the mistake of wrapping my present for their kid in Santa wrap... UGH! they immediately told the kid that the present was from Santa! haha!

interesting ideas... we never did anything special that I remember growing up. I think any Santa presents would just have a tag "from Santa" on them.

the idea that a certain wrap is cute though. So far we've only really done stockings are from Santa.

 

My parents put "Santa" presents (especially ones that were hard to wrap like bicycles) under the tree unwrapped on Christmas Eve after we went to bed, so we would see them on Christmas morning. Looking back, this was kind of an inspired solution, because then you don't have to buy different wrapping paper for the Santa gifts and keep track! This is probably what we'll do for our boys.

 

Santa stuffs stockings and leaves one, unwrapped big present. Everything else is from mom and dad. It keeps things simple

 

We have Santa SACKS here. Everything is wrapped with a tag to say who it is for. With special Santa writing (which is different from Tooth Fairy writing LOL) They don't get presents from DH and I because Santa is already too generous. They do make presents for each other. And if Nana and Poppa come for christmas day it looks like a toy factory exploded. WE LOVE CHRISTMAS

 

Both my husband and I grew up with Santa leaving the gifts unwrapped, so we do the same with our boys. Santa usually brings the big toys (Cozy Coupes this year :ibiggrin: ), so leaving them unwrapped makes it easier. Each kiddo's stocking is left beside their gift, to keep it all straight.

We get Santa's presents in the stockings and I wrap everything else in the same paper. They all have little tag who it's for. We get presents from Santa,Baby Jesus and we gift each other, too-)
Where I'm from we only put the tree up on the afternoon of the 24th and take it down on the 7th of January.
We get a "visit" from Baby Jesus on the same night (24th), but we also get to enjoy the presents from Santa on the 25th.

 

This year, Santa will be bringing both wrapped and unwrapped gifts. Everything is from him except things family sends (my brother is the only one who sends gifts). We put them out on the 24th after the kids go to bed. I kind of feel sorry for DH this year because we have 3 presents with "some assembly required" and he is the assembler

 

Always. he always uses paper with Santa on it.

 

My family (and DH's) never had any gifts from Santa. They were always from a person in the family. Not sure what we will do. Last year there were no gifts from Santa.

 

In my family, Santa always wrapped. But all of my sister's "santa" was in one paper and mine in another and there weren't any name tags on Santa gifts. Just on family gifts.

I plan to do that with our kids, but take it one step more and gifts from Santa are in paper that has Santa on it. But again, a different design for each child. No name tags.

 

Yes, Santa does wrap gifts here...usually I pick one item that is from me and DH and the rest are from Santa. I try to wrap the gifts in all different wrap.

 

Nope. Santa doesn't wrap presents. Presents from Mom and Dad are wrapped. This is the way I grew up. DH grew up with all presents wrapped, but loves the idea of Santa not wrapping. I remember waking up to find a pile of toys (not wrapped) and just loving that!

 

Yes, Santa wraps the gifts here. And he only uses certain paper. Each year I buy wrapping paper that is just for Santa gifts. I started doing this about 3 years ago so my oldest DD wouldn't start to get suspicious.

 

This is how I grew up too My Easy Bake Oven sitting under the tree was a gift from Santa, and the socks, basic toys, etc were from my parents/grandparents

 

Us too, except we slipped up last year and my then 7 yr old saw some of the stocking stuffers, so I told him that WE supply the stocking stuffers, but Santa brings one gift, unwrapped and set up and ready to use.

Last year it took dh and I about 4 hrs to set up DS's mega marble run :faint: we won't make that mistake again! :laughing:

 

I've been trying to think through this...

Will all or some of the presents be from Santa????

 

We have this nice big gift bag with a Santa on the front and we've re-used it for my oldest. Going to have to search for two more for the twins!

We've explained to my oldest that Santa "recycles/reuses" gift bags so she doesn't get to keep it and she leaves it out and it 'magically' disappears the next day! We do the same with the Easter Bunny LOL he reuses the eggs -he's environmentally friendly!

 

Santa doesn't wrap at our house. They all know whose stocking is whose, and on Christmas morning, whichever gifts their stocking is with are theirs. I don't particularly like wrapping gifts, and with 6 kids, my DH, my folks, my brother and his family all here, I have enough as it is. So Santa takes a break!

 

Well in this house, santa wraps all the presents, but he also put a certain sticker on the boys slippers (they each have a different one) and the boys have to find each of their presents (which are all mixed around under the tree) by finding their sticker on the presents. It is a lot of fun and it also means that it lasts longer. When the boys were smaller we once used a photo of them, and another time, big colourful bows to make it easier for them. I love it!

 

I'll wrap I bought Pink christmas paper for DD and blue for DS - they match just the backgroundsa re different with santa and snowmen, etc. This way i wont have to tag each one. I buy all my wrapping materials on clearance the year before so I save $$ this way.

Bigger stuff to both that is assembled, etc will not be wrapped
